Tigress with radio collar in Tadoba Andhari National Park, India. GPS animal tracking is a process whereby biologists, scientific researchers, or conservation agencies can remotely observe relatively fine-scale movement or migratory patterns in a free-ranging wild animal using the Global Positioning System (GPS) and optional environmental sensors or automated data-retrieval technologies such ...
A GPS tracking unit, geotracking unit, satellite tracking unit, or simply tracker is a navigation device normally on a vehicle, asset, person or animal that uses satellite navigation to determine its movement and determine its WGS84 UTM geographic position (geotracking) to determine its location.

Motus (Latin for movement) is a network of radio receivers for tracking signals from transmitters attached to wild animals. Motus uses radio telemetry for real-time tracking. It was launched by Birds Canada in 2014 in the US and Canada. As of 2022, more than 1,500 receiver stations had been installed in 34 countries. [1]
Open livestock carriers – in which all, or most, of the animal pens are installed on open decks. In theory, this provides continuous natural ventilation of the pen areas and avoids reliance on mechanical ventilation systems. Ventilation is a key factor in the transport of live animals.
The suspension was lifted with the new Exporter Supply Chain Assurance System in place, outlining mandatory compliance for all importing markets of Australian live animals for slaughter, with international standards for animal welfare. [23] The ESCAS regulatory framework is applicable across all importing markets as of December 31, 2012. [24]
The High-Tech Tools Scientists Use to Track Wild Animals Science in recent years has seen an explosion of wildlife tracking-devices that are enabling new insights and scientific breakthroughs.
Since the late 1980s animal tracking via satellite has been accomplished through the use of the Argos system, which was historically limited to larger animals and with which ICARUS hopes to compete. [3] One major hurdle to tracking the movements of birds and especially insects is creating a transmitter small enough to place on individual animals.
The following is a list of countries by live animal exports. Data is for 2019, in millions of United States dollars, as reported by International Trade Centre. [1] Currently the top twenty countries are listed. #
